@aipps_eire We need a careful approach to this issue. Decision makers need to visit public hospitals and see how many foreign doctors and nurses are holding the places together- all those are now being told indirectly to find a different country.
Communities are concerned newly proposed changes which treat all applicants irrespective of if they are taxpayers and contributing to the society or actually on state benefits paid throughout their residency. @DeptJusticeIRL@MichealMartinTD#FairCitizenshipPathway#Equity

Ireland should continue to attract and retain people who lawfully live, work, pay taxes, provide essential services and contribute to Irish society.
We urge everyone to support this campaign, amplify the message.

AIPPS Ireland also urges meaningful consultation with healthcare professionals, representative organisations and other stakeholders before these proposals are finalised.
Those directly affected should have a genuine opportunity to contribute to the policy-making process.
10/13
Economic self-sufficiency and social-protection requirements must remain proportionate.
There should be safeguards for legitimate circumstances including parental leave, caring responsibilities, illness and involuntary unemployment.
9/13
Where English competence has already been demonstrated through professional education, recognised examinations, professional registration and sustained employment in an English-speaking healthcare environment, that evidence should be recognised.
8/13
An 8-year requirement, on top of naturalisation processing delays, housing pressures and family separation, could have significant consequences for careers, family life and social stability.
These wider impacts should be carefully considered before any change is finalised.
7/13
After years of service, asking these professionals to wait even longer for security and belonging is neither fair nor proportionate.
Citizenship is not simply a document, it provides a sense of stability, belonging and long-term security for individuals and families.
6/13
Internationally trained healthcare professionals have moved countries, left families and support networks behind, and built new lives in Ireland.
Many have worked through some of the most difficult periods in Irish healthcare while continuing to serve patients.
5/13
Those already lawfully resident in Ireland and accumulating reckonable residence and paying taxes under the current framework should not be retrospectively disadvantaged.
There must be robust transitional and grandfathering arrangements to protect legitimate expectations.
